Bayesian inference with the l 1-ball prior: solving combinatorial problems with exact zeros
基于 l₁ 球先验的贝叶斯推断:用精确零值求解组合问题
Abstract The l1-regularisation is very popular in high-dimensional statistics—it changes a combinatorial problem of choosing which subset of the parameter is zero, into a simple continuous optimisation. Using a continuous prior concentrated near zero, the Bayesian counterparts are successful in quantifying the uncertainty in the variable selection problems; nevertheless, the lack of exact zeros makes it difficult for broader problems such as change-point detection and rank…
